Automation workflows have transformed our IT, enabling secure just-in-time access control
We work with them quite often, so we have a direct line regarding areas in Torq that have room for improvement. If we have a feature request, we can request it. I do not have anything in mind at the moment. We were a design partner for a short while, so we feel that they listen and that users of the system have an impact on the way the system is designed for the better. They have a new community, which is something that I personally suggested years ago. There are many people like me in different places and they might have already built the workflow that I need. Having the option to share workflows or to jump on a thread and say I have this need, did anyone ever build a workflow for it, is amazing. Someone would jump in and say yes, sure, here, take this workflow. I think this is an amazing thing and I really hope that the community will come alive because I think this is really powerful. This is something that I already suggested and it did happen eventually, and I am quite happy with it. I do not have any specific feature in mind that I have a need for at the moment.

Automation workflows have simplified integrations and now need richer custom connector options
Support for Jira could be improved because currently, Jira is only supported in the cloud version. It would be a great idea to support Jira Data Center versions too since Atlassian announced that Jira Server has become end-of-life over a year ago. The connection with Data Center Jira is not super stable, so the Jira Data Center connector should definitely be improved. In future updates of Rapid7 InsightConnect, it would be really great to have some advanced capabilities for connectors. For example, if the tool is using an API, we could write code to give more flexibility for engineers to set up different integrations, even for solutions that are not available in the existing integrations. That would definitely be a significant advantage.

Automates threat response and reduces investigation time but needs better threat intelligence integration
One thing that we would like to see with Splunk SOAR is the expandability to the threat intelligence feed. Currently, we have limited ingestion to the threat intelligence feed for the correlation purpose. We would like to see it being integrated, with license cost or without license cost, to leading threat intelligence sources such as Recorded Future, Feedly, or Flare. That is something we would appreciate having integrated. The second thing on the improvement side is about exposed credential-related information. If we start ingesting those data to Splunk SOAR or SIEM with some sort of integration with threat intelligence feed, that will also improve our detection and prediction method or help us with the investigation.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"As an analyst, it has demonstrated potential to reduce workforce requirements and time needed for related activities."
"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."
"Once I started to use the system and I saw the potential, it changed all of our work in IT."
"Since we started working with Torq, I am handling much fewer alerts, it is becoming really easy for me to handle an alert, I have all the information that I need, I do not need to connect to different vendors to receive this information, and the main thing I got from Torq is time, which now helps me to build another automated system and learn."
"Any request that comes in, regardless of how complex it is, I can accomplish it with Torq."
"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."
"Torq's unified platform approach to AI, SOAR, automation, and case management is superior compared to my experience managing multiple point solutions."
"If I review about 100 vendors that I might work with, Torq is definitely in the top five that gave me personally investment back, just because every bit of effort I put into Torq eventually became a workflow that gave it back to me."
"InsightIDR's Attacker Behavioral Analytics (ABA) and User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) features have been very useful in maintaining our security posture."
"Rapid7 InsightConnect has great features, particularly easy and straightforward deployment."
"Rapid7 is the better product because of its features, capabilities, integration, and support."
"Based on my user experience, I would recommend InsightConnect for its user-friendly interface and excellent documentation."
"The tool is stable. The initial setup is straightforward. The product is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Splunk SOAR are the easy integration with other solutions, including other Splunk solutions, and the most important playbooks we need on the market come already on the Splunk Store, which is a very strong point."
"The solution allows us to customize playbooks and incorporate custom code, allowing us to drag and drop elements while still writing code to build the integrations we need."
"The customizable playbook is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It has definitely saved a decent amount of time for our analysts so they can focus on other tasks."
"The product provides 100% automation for certain processes."
"Splunk integrates with so many products. It provides us with good information for us to be able to do our jobs."
"I like the way Splunk interacts with various systems via the API. The ability to integrate Splunk with our ticketing system has been an immense help because we can maintain our workflow while blending Splunk with our support desk and other ways that we track work."
"My understanding is the initial setup isn't too hard."
 

Cons

"Regarding the pricing of Torq, I would say it is expensive."
"Even now, we have workflows that are in production that use AI steps and I get different results, making it unusable to some degree."
"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."
"We have MCP that we are working with our cloud security platform, and we wanted to connect this MCP to the case management."
"It was able to capture data but was unable to differentiate between the agent hostname we are using and the hostname that resides on the back end of the Internet."
"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."
"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."
"The GUI needs improvement, as creating workflows can be cumbersome."
"The GUI needs improvement, as creating workflows can be cumbersome. More updated plugins are needed to leverage existing functionalities, such as APIs for functions like blocking malicious IPs in FortiGate."
"The solution really needs better integration."
"Support for Jira could be improved because currently, Jira is only supported in the cloud version."
"The technical support should be improved."
"We've had trouble implementing the solution with Microsoft products. There seems to be an integration gap."
"It would be ideal if we could automate processes even more."
"The pricing could be a bit more reasonable. It would be great if it were feasible for smaller organizations."
"It would be ideal if we could automate processes even more."
"The scalability could be better."
"The Splunk SOAR platform was not designed specifically for case management which is why this area needs improvement."
"Creating playbooks using the solution’s playbook editor, for me, is very cumbersome. There have been instances where I have said to myself that I just don't want to use this editor. I might just use a code block and write my own code within it... The functionality in the playbook editor is 80 percent there, but that 20 percent is still lacking. They could make it more efficient."
"The technical support for the Splunk SIEM solution was average."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
Information not available
"We renewed it this year. This year was the first time there was a dramatic increase in the price. It was kind of non-negotiable. It was just a high increase. We had internal communications, and it was definitely a surprise to us. In a short time frame, we renewed it this year. Prices are going up everywhere, but they are not always justifiable, at least not to our eyes. The pricing this year was definitely a big shock."
"In my opinion, the price is high, but if you want good products, you have to be willing to pay for them."
"Splunk SOAR is an expensive solution for an organization of our size."
"The licensing cost is reasonable."
"I don't know the exact price, but for my region, it is very expensive."
"When we first purchased our Splunk SOAR license, it was based on an event-count model. It was based on the number of events. I had strong opinions at the time that automation should not be stifled by the amount of automation you can accomplish, so the previous structure was not as beneficial for us. Later that year, we got told or saw at a conference that they announced user-based pricing. We are now in a renewal period, so we migrated to a user-based license model, which is more appropriate for us so that we no longer have to worry about stifling our automation based on the quantity."
"Splunk SOAR is more expensive compared to other options for SOAR."
"Splunk SOAR is moderately priced, neither cheap nor overly expensive."
